The Chief of Santa Rosas and His
Daughter.

Many of their young women
were very good looking. They
are reared for sale; but upon ac-
count of general business depr"s-
sion, the chief said, prices were
low. "Here is my daughter" he
remarked, pointing to a bright lass
of sixteen, tawny brown in color
and beautifully formed. 81 will sell
her for two maracottas and half.
\ maracotta is Venezuelan for ali
American twenty dollar gold piece.
"No," said /, 81 do not care 10
buy her. In my country there are
no slaves; besides, what would !
do with her? She can speak only
your language. We could not
talk"
"That is nothing" eagerly: "she
will learn your language in a
month. Besides, she can cook
your food; and must sell her
times are hard"
"No, it will never do" | re-
piled. 81 am not going home di'
rect, and don't care about buying
to-day"
"Take her at two maracottas
one and a halfl No? Well
then, caballero, you shall have hel
for one. See, she is young, strong
and can work"
But 40 inducement was OF avail
and the chief reluctantly gave me
up as impracticable. - From

A relic of ancient times was re.
vived in Virginia last week, when
cousel for a man about TO be tried
for murder asked that the indict-
ment be quashed because the fore
man of the grand jury that re-
turned it was the owner of a grist-
mill. The law forbade the pos
SCISSOR of a mill from serving on a
jury.

THE Democratic County Convention
in Union-tbe home Of Marshal Dill
has reaffirmed the Democratic ma
tioual platform of 1884. This was
probably done inadvertently or during
the unavoidable absence from home Of
the United States Marshal, President
Cleveland, whose administration was
heartily endorsed by the same conven-
ton, has got beyond the Chicago plat
form long distance on the way to
Free Trade, and Uoiou County does
not keep up with the procession There
has been a great diversity Of express
sion on the part Of Democratic county
conventions this year on this matter,
and some of them will look a little
queer after the Allentown Convention
has tried its hand on the subject

THE Pennsylvania republican con
ventior did its work promptly and well,
The state offices to be filed this year
are not important, but excellent nomi'
nations we're made with fair prospect
of polling the usual party majority.
The platform declares in favor Of re.
storing the American merchant marine
by the payment of bounties, and of
national provision for ex.veterans in
absolute need; and of course favors
the protection Of home industries. The
convention expressed the unquestioned
conviction of Pennsylvania republi-
cans in declaring in favor of the re-
nomination Of Mr.. Blaine for the
presidency. Its expressions on state
matters we're especially wise. The
harmony and confident feeling that
prevailed have the advantage of rest
ing on a substantial foundation, a'
Pennsylvania republicans are pretty
sure to give good account of them
selves at the polls.-Ne,O York Tribune

A PITTSBURGH "gas expert," if such
able men really exist, has revived the
theory that the tapping of the gas
veins is responsible for the recent
earthquakes. He says: LET US sup
pose that these fssures are hundreds
of miles long and that it is just as pos
sible that the gas used to-day in Pitts.
burgh may have been generated miles
below the bed of the Atlantic ocean.
The gas would then follow sloping fis'
sures following the trend of the rocks
until it reached the substratum sands
of Western Pennsylvania and takes a
decided dip upwards. Assuming these
facts, possibly the drawing away o.
the immense pressures represented by
the gas and which must have som'
material part in sustaining the crus
of the earth, why, you can charge nat
ural gas with the Charleston Difficult
ty." The trouble is we had earth
quakes long before We had natural ga
companies and the oil country ha
enough to answer for without haviui
this fresh outrage saddled upon it,

WHICH WAY Is YOUR MUsKET A'P INTlN |
In a little log church, in the state of Vir-
ginia,
Some negroes had gathered to worship
the Lord;
And after the service, they held class
meeting,
That each for the Master might utter
word.
The leader exhorted and spoke of the
warfare
That Christians should wage against error
Away,
And finished by asking the following
question:
(Which way is your musket a'pintin
to-day?"
One after another gave their experiences,
Some brothers were happy, some luke
warm, some cold;
One saw his way clear to the portals of
glory,
Another had strayed, like a lamb. from
the fold. d.
At last, Brother Barcus, renegade menu
Der,
And Satan's companion for many a day,
| Arose, cleared his throat, though visibly
nervous,
lie folded his arms, and proceeded to say /;
"Dear brudders and sisters, once was a
Christian,
1 once was as happy rs any one here;
1 fit for de church like a battle-scarred
soldier,
And stood by her banner when traitors
were near"
"Hold on dary' the leader excitedly
shouted,
"Please answer the question AK you,
say;
Use given you credit for ali you fit den
sir,
Which way is your musket a-p'intin' to
day."
Some people now speak of the "Glory o
Temperance"
And boast of their tee total record and all
OF Clubs, Lodges and Unions, their al
active members,
J Take big rents from tenants who sell al
cohol.
I'd liken their boasts TO the boast of oil
Barcus,
